A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Minecraft Sandbox: The name Tetris combines a reference to four-square pieces with Pajitnov's interest in tennis. That is only half the story. SimCity grew out of Will Wright's enjoyment of the map editor he had built for an earlier game; the act of shaping a city became the game itself. That long chain of experiments is part of why puzzles still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
